obama needs to be on his toes. you know, i just think he can anticipate most of what romney is going to say, but he needs to have a few zingers of his own to make sure he gets his share of sound bites in the newscasts that follow. >> based on previous debate performances, how would you characterize governor romney's style versus the president's style? >> romney is good on the attack, i think. as i just indicated, i mean, when he needed to flash the knife against rick perry in that one debate i'm particularly thinking of, he really did it. he's good at that, and he's not going to back down. you know, a lot of this also comes down to interpersonal dynamics and how they play off each other and what their body chemistry says and so on and so forth. romney was pretty aggressive in a lot of republican debates, interrupting people, leaning forward, that sort of thing. don't think you can do that with the president of the united states. >> there was also, of course, that famous bet in south carolina. >> yeah, right. >> mic

i think it is crucial for president obama to take the position that netanyahu is saying and really make sure that the iranians believe that they're in trouble, which is historically the only way they've been able to prevent it. interestingly, when you talk about the price of oil, and i think this is an important component, the obama strategy seems to be, you know, keep it on the low down, on the down low, until the final moment, which i'm not an economic expert, but it seems to me that kind of strategy would result in a sudden spike when action had to be taken as opposed to the netanyahu strategy, which is to kind of steadily build up towards a point where action needs to be taken, if it boils down to that. and we've seen the markets are climbing, you know, but it's kind of at a rate where people are able to keep up with it as opposed to that sudden spike, which comes out of nowhere and nobody's expecting it and crippling markets instantaneously. >> we certainly hope that doesn't happen. thank you both for your thoughts on that. very important. >> you know, i just want to mention, i'm j
